Why is the heater not working on my Nissan Versa?

Anytime you’re putting your hand around the radiator or fans in the engine assume that they are hot and that the fans can kick on at any time, even without your key in the ignition. While not having enough coolant may make your engine run hotter, it can also cause your Versa to not be able to create enough heat.

Why does my Nissan Versa fan only work on highest setting?

This failure is caused by a burn in the resistor pack. When the dial is turned to the highest setting, the fan’s power comes directly from the electrical bus. On lower settings, the electricity first passes through a series of resistors which limit the amount of current flowing to the fan, slowing it down.

Where is the blower relay on a Nissan Versa?

Blower relay is only used for speed 4 other 3 speeds run through the resistor unit. blower motor resistor block is actually in the air ducting near the blower motor.

Where is the fuse box on the Nissan Versa?

The manual says there is another fuse box on the passenger side…but I haven’t found it yet. There’s one on the drivers side, and there actually is a fuse in there for blower. That may be it. Check the fuse box located on the drivers side. As far as the passenger side, I haven’t seen a fuse box.

What kind of noise does a Nissan Versa make?

I have a 2009 Nissan Versa. This morning the ventilation/AC fan started making an awful noise, rather like a Piper Cub at takeoff. It also vibrated strongly, especially at the 3-4 settings.

What happens when you change the fuse on a heater blower?

If the fuse is blown, replace it and then try the blower. If the fuse blows right away, your car may have a bad blower motor or some other problem in the system. If the blower works when you change the fuse, you may not be out of the woods yet. When the motor gets old and tired it will draw more current through the wires than a new motor.

What to do if your heater fan relay is not working?

Put everything back together the way it came and re-program the code into the radio if needed. If you’ve checked the fuse panel, and the fan motor doesn’t run at all, or if it runs only on the lower speeds, the blower motor relay may be at fault. Relays are used to carry electrical loads that are too large for conventional switches.

How to replace a heater motor switch or relay?

Step 1: Replace the switch. At this point you should have the switch in a position to easily disconnect it. Be careful, there are usually locking tabs on the connector that have to be squeezed before it will release and pull off. The plastic connectors are brittle and break easily.

What should I do if my heater fan switch is not working?

As long as there are no bare wires exposed, reconnect the battery cable and try running the heater fan to see if there is other diagnostic work to be done. If everything checks out, disconnect the battery again, route the switch back through the hole, and attach it with the nut.
